Dear Ernie,
What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
Worried in the Ultimate Universe
Dear Ultimate Worrier,
You are most likely thinking that you would be scared all the way to death, however I’m afraid that’s just not the case. You get scared half or 50% to death once, then you get scared 50% to death again. It’s 50% of the remaining 50% or 25% (one quarter) of the way to death. Then if you get scared half to death again would be another 50% of the remaining 25%, which would be 12.5% or one eighth. So if you extrapolate you will see that you can never be scared half to death all the way to death, no matter how many times it happens. It just becomes an infinitesimally small amount. Now, personally after I was scared half to death for about the third time I would seriously consider some major life altering changes. Eventually all that scaring would take a psychological toll on a person.
Dear Ernie?
How soon is now?

Dear Biche-y,
Now is…right now! No, it gone by. It’s…riiiight…NOW! Whoops missed it again. But really if you can’t see the answer to that one then no one can help you.
